[SOLVED] GB X570 Aorus Pro Wifi recognizes F11 BIOS update USB, but "can't read file"

[InsertGreatName]

Hi all, I'm updating from BIOS F3 to F11 on my X570 Aorus Pro Wifi, and while the GB QFlash recognizes the USB and can browse to the BIOS file, trying to run the update returns "Can't Read File". I'm doing this as built with all components installed. I've tried:

• 2 different USB's, both in FAT32 and empty other than the .F11 file
• Case USB ports and the white BIOS USB port on the motherboard
• Legacy USB enabled and disabled
• Double clicking the file, hitting enter, and clicking the arrow over to "run", because I guess that can make a difference

It still runs fine on the existing BIOS, but I'd like to bring it up to date. I can provide other components if need be. Phone images of questionable quality are linked here:

Did you extract the file?

Did you extract the file?

Yes, the only file on either USB was the extracted BIOS file. 16.3 MB was the extracted size if that's what it's supposed to be

Figured it out, if anyone ends up having this question later. For some reason my first download off the gigabyte site was bad, I pulled another copy of the BIOS file and was able to update through @bios with no issues, although I know generally using @bios isn't a great idea due to the risk of windows interfering with the install. Thanks

Can I ask, did you go straight from F3 to F11 without updating all the other BIOS updates in between?

Yes I did. F11 isn't the newest version, F12e is, but I was specifically trying to fix a set of memory BSODs I was encountering, so I only brought it up to the newest non-beta release that mentioned memory stability fixes
